For those who may not already know...
Joe Blob, aka Josephine and about a thousand other nyms (often stolen
from respectable posters) regularly floods and annoys at the
abpe.older-women newsgroup. As an example, she has posted over 100,000
pics in the past few days. Her stuff is generally resized and lower
resolution copies of the pics, and the sets she posts are very often
incomplete. She also posts frequent diatribes about "group ratings" and
the like. She is truly insane.*
She has recently spouted off in that group about another poster being
"insignificant;" the comedy here is that, for the multitude of crap
photos she has posted, she has gotten only one or two "irritation
comments" over in abpe.o-w. Apparently, her insignificance (I mean
really... can't even piss people off any more...) has driven her to try
flooding this group and seeing if she can't annoy some folks here.
I am Mac based, and I use Thoth. For those it might help, a perfectly
simple killfilter is to simply choose the "Message ID Contains"
dropmenu, and then enter "@usenetnewsserver.com" (without the quote
marks, of course). This has filtered out a bazillion of Josephine's
recent posts both here and in the other newsgroup, rendering her
diarrhea posting... well, insignificant!
While I work a little bit on the PC platform, I'm afraid I know nothing
of filtering with any of the PC usenet software... perhaps somebody
more knowing than myself can offer a similar solution on that platform!
Regards to all,

* Also for those who don't know, Josephine honest-to-goodness actually
posted that "an electric bill" is a wrong use of language, as that
would be "a bill powered by electricity." Feel free to make fun of her
about it; she won't answer you, which convinces me that it embarrasses
hell out of her (I guess an "auto loan" would be a loan generated
automaticvally?). Also, her most common nic is Joe Blob (has been
banned from many reputable servers, including but not limited to
Giganews), and she really hates being referred to as Josephine or
called a fat fuck.
Just sayin'...
